“Celebrating Today, Planning for Tomorrow” Program / Programa de "Celebrando hoy, planeando para mañana"
Over the next few weeks, you will be hearing about the upcoming “Celebrating Today, Planning for Tomorrow” Program at Our Lady of Lourdes. This effort is very important as we move forward with the mission and vision of Our Lady of Lourdes. In order to continue our mission and ministries, we encourage all parishioners to spend time in prayer and discussion with your family reflecting on the work we do. We look forward to seeing all of our parishioners at Mass, especially during our special Commitment Weekend on October 05 & October 06. If you have any questions regarding the “Celebrating Today, Planning for Tomorrow” Program, please feel free to contact the parish office.
